    Aerodynamics and cooling. The ZL1's front end is designed so aerodynamically perfect when it comes to letting air in for the supercharger and cooling the engine bay that changing the front end over to the 2014+ wouldn't have made sense. The Z/28 being naturally aspirated can use the 2014+ frontend.

          IF there's any truth to it.....when engineers "design" vehicles....aesthetic failure is imminent. So the case with the ZL1.

Why they kept it on the ZL's for the refresh only people in the know will know. Now if there only someone you could we ask
                Meh. The refreshed base model cars with the flush headlights remind me of someone smashing their face against a glass window. I do agree on the lower/sharper proportion though.

                    With the wide variety of bricks and eggshells on the market, ill sacrifice aerodynamics for good styling. But i actually like the splitter.

                      In a vehicle where speed and handling isn't the first priority, it's definitely okay to sacrifice a little bit to have something that appeals visually, but doesn't give up all of it's performance potential in doing so.

                        You're just going to have to trust me on this one, but just because you went to Creative Studies and claim you're a "designer", it doesn't mean you're a good "designer".

                        They are intentionally kept in the dark and ignorant about the product they're designing.

                        And the supposition that the ZL1's fascia is "aerodynamically perfect for the supercharger" is a complete falsehood...sorry, B...

                          If I didn't know better I would say this thread is full of females on their period.

                          Maybe this forum needs a Daily I want to ***** thread.

                                Looking at the aerodynamic fluid (air) flow models on it, looks like a legit reason to me.
